SRINAGAR: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Tuesday hit out at the Governor’s administration in Jammu and Kashmir for ending disbursement of subsidised sugar to the State’s BPL consumers, saying it will adversely affect the poor.
He also demanded that the administration roll back its decision for the benefit of the people.
“It is an anti-people move and will put an extra burden on daily wagers and the economically challenged classes of our society,” Abdullah said in a statement.
The National Conference (NC) leader also alleged that people were already paying “heavily” as the last PDP-BJP Government had withdrawn subsidy on rice and cooking gas. (AGENCIES)
